The 47th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival is underway with Hollywood A-listers and film lovers taking over the city’s Entertainment District.

The red carpet rolled out on King Street West, also known as Festival Street, on Thursday and the area has been jam-packed with moviegoers attending premieres, and some hoping to spot a celebrity ever since.

This year marks the festival’s return to its pre-pandemic programming with mostly in-person events.

In 2020 and last year, TIFF opted for predominantly digital screenings, in accordance with public health restrictions.

CP24.com talked to some TIFF attendees about their experience at the festival so far, what they’re looking forward to the most, and what could be done differently at the festival next year.
